Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings, to be friendly or to be playful. But did you know about infrasonic communication used by elephants? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling in the sky. But we dont hear sounds lower than this. However, animals such as elephants and hippos can hear much lower sounds than humans can. And whats more, they can make those low sounds as well, and they use them to communicate with each other. This is known as infrasound.The amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometers. Higher-level sounds like the one people can hear, dont travel well through walls, leaves, trees and so on, which is why we cant hear sounds from more than 100 meters away. But infrasound is much stronger and things like grass and trees have no influence on it. Therefore, it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometers away!There have been reports of people watching groups of elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants suddenly all stopped what they were doing for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didnt hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you stand near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo, you may notice a slight rumbling in the air every few minutesnot loud or strong, but clearly noticed. This is infrasonic communicationthe mother elephants “talking” to their babies.（1）Why does the writer mention bees and dogs in Paragraph1? A . Because they use infrasonic communication.B . Because they communicate like the elephants.C . Because they are examples of animal communication.D . Because people want to learn how they communicate.（2）Which of the following is TRUE about infrasound? A . Humans can hear infrasound easily.B . It travels nearly several kilometers.C . It sounds low but cant travel very far.D . It travels well through walls, leaves and so on.（3）In places like zoos, _. A . elephants dont need to make infrasonic soundsB . it is easier for elephants to make infrasonic soundsC . mother elephants dont let people stand near their babiesD . humans can easily sense infrasonic sounds when they are made（4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A . Talking to humansB . Talking to animalsC . Playing with humansD . Playing with elephants20. （8分） Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was not very handsome, and he knew he was not.One day, Lincoln was walking on the road when he was stopped by an ugly man .The man had a gun in his hand.

To my surprise, he gave me a sheet of words and asked me to remember them. Then I found his class simple and interesting.Don has a great sense of humor, too.

Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in drivers education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and rules and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a drivers license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel and practice starting. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours each time. So each student gets half an hour driving time per outing.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes(刹车), one on the drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. So if the student driver should run into difficulties, the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced.After the student has passed the drivers education course and reached the suitable age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a the state office to take their drivers test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a drivers license. （1）We can infer that the students are required to _ in their whole driving practice. A . go out driving for 12 timesB . spend at least six hours drivingC . drive for two-hour blocks of timeD . get half an hour driving（2）In America, the drivers course mentioned above is _. A . considered as part of the advanced educationB . given to anyone wanting to get a drivers licenseC . carried on at the same time as other coursesD . required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools（3）To prevent accidents, a drivers ED car _. A . has a sign inside itB . has two sets of brakesC . is big enough to hold five personsD . cant run very fast（4）Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their drivers license? A . They must be 16 years of age.B . They should go to have their drivers course.C . They must have their eyes examined.D . They ought to do well in their drivers course.（5）The underlined word caution in paragraph 4 means _. A . being braveB . courageC . being carefulD . patience23. （6分）下面是某校八年级本学期在进行小组活动时所讨论的英语话题内
